CGG Launches VelPro 9.5 Velocity Modeling Software
As well as intuitive velocity model building, VelPro offers workflows for pore pressure prediction. Here, results including mud-weight curves are shown using the Eaton method (image courtesy of CGG GeoSoftware).
CGG GeoSoftware has released VelPro 9.5, a velocity modeling and depth conversion commercial software technology used by interpreters and velocity modeling experts to seamlessly integrate seismic and well velocity information, horizons, faults and well tops into robust and data-driven velocity models.
VelPro models complement the workflows of geophysical interpretation software applications, and are utilized in domain conversions. This enables oil company asset teams to create highly accurate depth representations of the subsurface. Users can also better understand and mitigate drilling risk using the VelPro Pore Pressure Prediction workflow which employs either the Eaton or Eaton-Bowers method to compute entire volumes of pore pressure from velocity volumes.
VelPro 9.5 licensing integrates with the full GeoSoftware portfolio, making it easier for clients to install and use it in combination with other GeoSoftware products. As an example, VelPro 9.5 reads and writes data from the GeoSoftware well database and compiles journal entries. Users can interactively switch displayed well data and tops between standard well datums with Well Data Editor, resulting in an improved user experience. VelPro maintains third-party formats and therefore works well within a client’s existing software environment.
